Miranda has the most wonderful laugh

The campest Podcast that I listen to .. I love it! Miranda reminds me of Victoria Wood (a compliment!). If you see me giggling to myself in the street in Maspalomas it'd because I'm listening to Paper Cuts 😂🥰😘

The claim that subscribers asked for fewer episodes is ludicrous. nobody is going to pay money for a show and then say have my money but give me less of it. When it started it was 3 times a week - then it went to.5 times a week because apparently listeners couldn't get enough of the podcast. Now having taken Patreons' money they've decided twice a week is more than enough...
